Description: Calling all poets! What makes a poem, and what is the difference between poetry and prose? Can they go hand in hand? Samuel Taylor Coleridge described prose as “words in their best order” and poetry as “the best words in the best order.” Virginia Woolf believed “poetry is delicious” but that “the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.” In this course, we will work with both formats, reading a sampling of powerful poems and personal essays as well as writing our own poetry and prose.
